Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The menstrual cycle in a nonpregnant female begins with menstruation, followed by the proliferative phase, and then the secretory phase. During menstruation, the thickened endometrial lining is shed. Then, during the proliferative phase, the remaining endometrial cells proliferate and the thickness of the endometrial lining increases. Finally, during the secretory phase, the endometrial glands secrete substances that prepare the uterus for possible implantation of a fertilized egg. Therefore, the correct order of events is Menstruation, Proliferative Phase, and Secretory Phase.
